A guide to safe and responsible use of medical cannabis in cannabis therapy and cannabis treatment

Presentation of Eliza B. Walczak on Cannafest Prague 2015. The lecture is in the original version. Brief synopsis can be found in the description below.

Most of European cannabis patients use cannabis secretly and educate their doctors about the positive effects of the plant on their illnesses. It is quite a unique situation in modern medical science. This knowledge in the form of separated anecdotes is changing the compass of the future medical science. How come that such a “street” drug as marijuana is becoming a savior to millions of patients around the world? For some of us it’s just hard to believe: “Cannabis is a medicine?” This information is especially confusing for educated people. For doctors, the new information about cannabis is contradictory to what European medical schools teach about “non-pharmaceutical drugs” that are popular only due to the pathology of their use… Sigmund Freud predicted that “the future might teach us to exercise a direct influence, by means of particular chemical substances, on the amounts of energy and their distribution in the mental apparatus. It may be that there are other still undreamed of possibilities of therapy.” (1938) The “rumors” and testimonials  of cannabis patients are creating a new safe space for self-exploration of the new methods of healing. There should always be a space of support, healing, self-healing, processing and educating. There are many spectrums on this therapeutic subject, and the United Experiment of Social Tolerance (ZEST) is trying to present the old/new therapy as a vertical integration of all phases and everyone interested in medical cannabis therapy.
